Mostly. The patch for signal handling in OS X is essential for ECL to
build properly on that platform, but I believe you have committed that
already.

I have problems accepting to move to an alpha release. Already too
many complains from unhappy users about the move 6.8 -> 7.1 (needed
for the OS X)

I do not know about those flags. Are they documented anywhere?

This does not sound like something I would like to distribute right
now with ECL, specially when I have users that complain if they have
to type "make clean" before configuring :-)
In any case, can I just prompt corageous users to build 7.2a2
themselves if they want thread support + mingw32?
